There was a time when Sapiens and Neanderthals co-existed...

[–] Fluke@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

Maybe.

Never had that reflex triggered in me when presented with renders of what we think neanderthal looked like though.

Sample size of one means nothing though, so, yeah, maybe.

And we mated with them, so apparently we weren't too afraid.

Not necessarily, it's common to "mate" as part of war and conquest. Usually there's a more descriptive word for it, though.

Yeah, but traditionally you don't fuck people that give you Uncanny Valley vibes.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Don't kink shame.

And yet we have plenty of humans who are jorkin it to poorly made, uncanny AI porn. So... I don't know anymore.

Yes, it's called the present, and the Neanderthals have control of the White House.
